Colon & Turkey - Animated Character Designs

Two character design ideas I have created and rigged using Adobe After Effects. I drew these two characters, Colon & Turkey, in Illustrator using the pen tool, and later transported them into after effects to rig a movable skeletons to my characters - for fluid movement. To experiment, I simply made them do a little dance to display their moves.

Colon - An indigo monster, resembling the intertwining of a wild werewolf beast and praying mantis. Colon has a huge yellow cross piercing out of his head, warning danger of his purity.

Turkey - Turkey is the mashup of a Llama, Unicorn, and large bird. They are antsy, awkward, and love to groove. I imagine Turkey as the Jester to the world of characters he is from... Made purely for other entertainment.
